20. I was just thinking the same thing

The longer you pay attention to politics, the less often you'll give in to fear or heartbreak.

Yes, Citizens United has made the playing field rather uneven, but if people can't see the uneven in their own working lives from day-to-day, how will they see through the $$$$$$$ spent to keep them stupid?

They have to really suffer. And the Koch Bros are rubbing their hands and drooling in anticipation of all the suffering...but in the end these types always lose.


The Short Loser List:

Gingrich

Limbaugh

Cheney

Rove

Rumsfield


The hated *




We could make a long list.


Those people up there are all loathed, and some fear to leave the country.

The Kochs and Walker are headed for the list.



To anyone upset:

Politics works slowly and backwards sometimes, but don't give in to fear.

Just remember

the rules

have changed.
